In a statement given to Daily Mail, Ghanian magnate Bernard Antwi Boasiako has recorded his interest in bidding for Chelsea. The Businessman highlighted that the Blues have strong ties with African players over the years and has pledged to bring stability to the club.
The 45-year-old emerged as a prospective buyer for the London-based club last week. It is now confirmed that the African businessman will be looking into an offer for the Stamford Bridge outfit. Chelsea have been put in a precarious situation after the British government sanctioned Roman Abromvich due to his ties with Vladimir Putin in light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Since then there has been a lot of commotion at Stamford Bridge. The immediate future of the Blues is filled with a lot of uncertainty. Despite the off-field noise circulating around Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel and his men have done a commendable job on the field in their last few fixtures.
In conversation with the Daily Mail, Boasiako’s spokesperson gave a statement highlighting his interest in purchasing the club. It also shed light on the deep African ties that the Blues have had over the years along with his priority of ensuring that there are no job losses.
“Bernard Antwi Boasiako is exploring a potential offer for Chelsea. Discussions with various parties involved in the sale have taken place. Chelsea has a lasting legacy in Africa, players like Didier Drogba and Michael Essien are legends of the club; the opportunity to enhance the club’s reputation in Africa is a very tempting prospect. Restoring stability and ensuring there are no job losses are among the priorities.”
The club has been in limbo ever since Abramovich has departed the club. The Russian took over Chelsea in 2003 and turned around its fortunes, making it one of the most successful clubs in England as well as Europe. Despite all the success under the Russian, it is now time to look into the post-Abramovich era.
There hasn’t been any shortage of suitors for the Blues ever since it was put up on sale. That being said, the £3bn price tag could be one of the major obstacles that any prospective buyer would face. In a report by The Mirror, it was believed that Chelsea have at least 10 serious buyers with the names of New York Jets owner Robert ‘Woody’ and another Saudi-led consortium backed by the Saudi media.
Another report by Sky Sports shed light on the likes of Property developer Nick Candy as well as The Turkish businessman Muhsin Bayrak. This list also includes 10 names with Conor McGreggor also being mentioned. These facts go to highlight that there are many people who are waiting for the opportunity to buy this esteemed club.
The Blues have become a powerhouse in recent times. Under their German manager, Chelsea has taken a step in the positive direction and managed to get their hands on a plethora of trophies. They also managed to bag the illustrious FIFA Club World Cup last month for the first time ever in their illustrious history.
Their rise to dominance has hugely been possible due to the financial resources that were poured in by Abramovich ever since taking over. Whilst there aren’t any shortages of takers, it would be interesting to see whether or not the new ownership would be willing to spend the same kind of money to help the club maintain its status as an elite team.
The club is faring well at the moment despite having issues with injury and some Covid scares in the initial stages of the season. Chelsea are still competing on several fronts and the fans would be hoping that the West Londoners can add some more silverware to their cabinet before the end of the season.
We will have to wait and see who eventually takes ownership of this prestigious club. Hopefully, it will be someone who is not only willing to invest in the present but also create a long-term strategy by purchasing key personnel whenever required.
